If I wasn't already there for attempted suicide this would have made me want to kill myself.

I worked in hospital many years back. If they put you on diet food it can get even worse then this. They use almost 0 seasoning and give foods with little flavor of there own. It can be so bad that they wont even eat it so it takes longer for them to heal. Its sad.

This is not a vegetarian meal, it’s a crime.

Did you also tell them you’re lactose intolerant? I made that mistake and was given dry potatoes, a carton of soy milk, and maybe some jello or a fruit cup. For a week. Fortunately I wasn’t burning any calories so I wasn’t hungry.

That plate itself doesn’t look very sanitary…😳

What you said: “I’m vegetarian”
What they heard: “I’m allergic to seasoning, and protein”

While the dogs looks really, really bad (how did it taste?), I hope you’re feeling better. I’ve had depression for over 25 years, so I can empathise.

That’s a $3,000 meal right there. Unfortunately your deductible is $4000 before the 25/50 insurance rates kick in. Sorry op, your credit is now ruined for being 30 seconds late with payment.
Edit: Did you sing up for the HSA account and fund it with your bi-weekly paychecks?

Damn bro wish you luck, also the food looks barely edible lmak

I am a RN and I have worked at several different hospitals in my career. Sadly this is something that is common in hospitals that are either aggressively for-profit or severely budget-challenged. It’s not across the board though since I have worked in a couple places that are on par with a decent restaurant. One place had a menu you could order from at any time like room service and the food was damn good. Even restrictive diets, which are sometimes necessary, can be ok if the dietary department has the will and the resources to put something edible in front of you. This plate just looks sad. It’s hard to get better when you don’t want to eat the food.
Separate thought: this post is one of the best I have seen on this sub since I joined a couple weeks ago. Most posts I have seen are obvious ragebait or food that is good but just different. I would like to see more of this and maybe we can even start shaming some of these hospitals into giving a damn about the nutrition aspect of healing.

Rice, candied oranges, quail eggs, and cauliflower?

Hey I’ve also been in the hospital for attempted suicide four times! High five!
I can’t really complain too much because I’m a Brit so hospital stays and food are free, but on the first night I ordered the all day breakfast. It came in one of those seperated divider tray dishes and everything was just absolutely insanely nuked. The sausage had no texture, it was just a soft flavourless mount of kind-of meat. The sauce that came with the beans was absolutely foul and the “scrambled egg” was like dust. I couldn’t eat it.
The next day I had some kind of like, meat and vegetables and it was just equally as bad. I stayed for three more nights and so after that I just had their pre-packed sandwiches and an apple instead of hot meals which were much more palatable. I was talking to someone there who was also in a bad way, he’d fallen down a fire escape when black out drunk and knocked out most of his teeth and broke his jaw, so he had to have a liquid only diet. He’d been there already for a few weeks and they were sort of slowly upping how solid his meals were but they looked absolutely woeful.
However after going into the hospital so many times after my dad’s suicide, they put me up in a mental health facility and the food there was absolutely amazing. It was a private facility (Priory Hospital Lakeside View in Wolverhampton), paid for by the NHS; I was pretty miffed they drove me all the way up from London to Wolverhampton especially as I was withdrawing pretty bad but the place did me a world of good. At home it was always me doing the cooking, it was fantastic having such delicious meals twice a day with great portions and lots of veg and decent quality protein! Wasn’t a single meal I disliked! I even made some close knit friends who had also experienced tragedies recently there.

Who’s going to cook it?

This makes me so sad, as I cook daily with very similar ingredients (I cook in nursing homes, which get their supplies from the same companies that supply for hospitals) and do my absolute best to give my residents a delicious meal. We have a couple of vegan residents, and learning to cook for them was hard, but it’s not hard to season potatoes, rice, carrots and (the worlds saddest) cauliflower. I’m so sorry OP, shame on those dietary cooks, that’s the most “imma just heat this up rq” shit I’ve ever seen in my life.
